I’ll probably ride the area again end of xmas week and probably new years week if I’m not down at Nowra at the cabin that week..

Well I suppose it is time to tell my story….
Thanks to Galey for Organising a great ride weekend.. Galey puts in a great effort and should be commended!!!I managed to record around 1.5 or so hours of footage with about 45-60 minutes of it useable as I just turned it on and left it going… I have 7 videos total with 4 from the morning and 3 in the afternoon… Battery ran out just as we hit the more challenging stuff in the afternoon… Too bad as there was some gnarly stuff we took on right after it stopped recording. The videos pretty much tell the story from my view and flows nicely….
My original plan was to get there on Friday and camp however 2 sick children and a wife proved difficult so I opted for a day ride Saturday.. What a day it was… We did a morning loop and an afternoon loop… The morning loop was mostly grade 3 terrain with a little 4 thrown in and with a moderate pace……. We rode some tracks I’ve ridden before and some new ones which were quite nice… Some of the tracks were pretty much goat tracks and proved challenging.. I had a few moments which were mostly stupid amateur mistakes or no where for the foot to be planted and loosing balance dropping the bike… Great morning with a great crew… We headed out a bit after 9am and returned around 1pm to have some lunch…

After a good feed, refuel and water top up we geared up for the afternoon loop… Wolfie decided to stay back and twobanger joined us.. It was hoot riding with twobanger as he man handles his big bore very well and provided some really good tips… The gang decided to cross over to the other side of Wolgan road.. I’ve ridden this side before but only the main tracks… There is a massive amount of singles out there if you know where to look… Gocman had a loop on his GPS from times past and handed it over to Galey to lead us around it. It started with some really fast flowing single and twin track and some FT… Slowly as we headed deeper in the riding got harder and harder… I was handling things pretty good until the 3rd or 4th hill which was a rut and rooted infested steep climb that everyone had a hard time with… Galey ended riding my bike up from the half way point and walking up put me over the edge of fatigue… By this time I was wishing for a FT to bail but nothing…. I finally reached total fatigue a short time later and started slow speed crashing… In the space of about 300 meters or so I must have crashed 6 or 7 times… twobanger was behind me and kept trying to get me to rest but I wanted to keep going and get out.. Finally I couldn’t go on anymore… when I finally caught up to the others who were waiting I told em I couldn’t go on… Galey put things into perspective as I had 2 choices.. man up and ride out or f$%^ing walk… We finally hit a main FT and Marty Gocman and myself waited for Galey and twobanger… Nothing for a while and then you could here a bike trying to run but no such luck.. Turns out two bangers bike backfired and popped the air box connection from the air box to the carbie out… After some fiddling they got it running and we all headed back to camp.. I for one was beaten… It was a hard ride but in the end it was what I needed as one can’t improve if they don’t do the hard stuff…
